As Low put the glass back again, he ran through a list of other possible subjects for conversation. When nothing presented itself, he sighed as he realized he would have to use his most unoriginal icebreaker, "So, anything interesting happen in your life recently?"

Spirit shrugged as she finished up her mug of cider. Spinning a full 360, she smiled and thought for a second. Maybe she shouldnt' torture him with another bad story, "Well, I went Golem Smashing with a friend. Does that count as interesting?"

Low's ears perked up as he leaned in, "Well? Go on, I'm listening." His eyes were wide and expectant as a grin spread across his face.

Spirit smiled and slid her empty mug across the counter, "It's actually really simple," she giggled, "A new friend of mine, Midnight Mind, and I went to a temple in the ruins in the forest. To make a long story short, we activated necromantic rituals and awakened 90 Golems. Of which we both shattered. It was... amazing."

Upon hearing Midnight's name dropped, Low's smile disintegrated and his eyebrow arched into a look of cold curiosity. In a serious tone, he asks, "So you do know Midnight. I thought the two of you would blend well. Tell me, what is your opinion of her?" Low kept his poker face up, but behind it, thoughts raced through his mind. Before he could make any judgments though, he had to know just how deep their relationship went.

Low Key had quite the poker face. Hell, if he had been wearing it before, Spirit wouldn't know his thoughts on Middie. But, seeing his smile fade away told her all she needed to know. They had a past. So, she knew she shouldn't talk too highly of her. Yet, her mind was starting to grow fuzzy and her mouth started moving on its own, "Oh, Middie is fantastic~! She's smart, beautiful, strong... She's... She's just like... The best. The first pony to openly like, me, too. A-apparently being a witch is like... Bad or something.""

Hearing her description of Midnight, several question came to the forefront of Low's thoughts. He couldn't help but feel like Spirit was thinking exactly what Low was thinking at the time that Midnight seduced him, that she was the first pony to have ever shown any sort of attraction to him, treated him like a stallion with feelings...and then it all came crashing down when he proved himself to be an unsatisfactory lay. He wondered whether or not Midnight was playing Spirit as well, manipulating her thoughts and desires with empty promises of love and ecstasy only to throw her out when her purpose was served. Another thought took hold, though; what if Midnight truly did care about Spirit? If that were the case, then Low knew what the answer to this question would be, "Has she told you about two stallions that she knows, Arid and Defiant?"

Maybe Spirit should stop talking, now. That would probably be smart, right? But... her mouth moved. Her mind was blank. Her words were starting to slur, as well, "Well, of course she told me about those two! I mean, they're like... both her boyfriends or something..." She spun about in her chair again, "Why do you ask me?"
From across the bar, Spirit did seem to be gaining quite a bit of attention, mainly from two rather lanky stallions, one red and the other green. Nopony could really know what they wanted, though. Maybe they were just confused at her actions, was all...
Just kidding, they spiked her drink.

Low noticed that she had started to get tipsy, but made a mental note that she was a teetotaler and shrugged off his suspicions. She would definitely be needing somepony to walk her home. He returned to what he had so far: Spirit was informed that Midnight had two special someponies, and yet their relationship still continued. He wasn't sure how she would take this, but Low asked anyway, "And you are perfectly alright being her c-...mistress?" Sighing internally, he thanked Celestia that he had managed to stop himself from saying "concubine" instead. Very few mares would take that very well.

Spirit began sputtering into giggles, "Mistress? I'm not a mistress! I'm just a Witch!" she said, loudly projecting the last word, and throwing her hooves in the air, "I... what does a mistress do again?"

Despite his neutral look, Low internally facepalmed. Surely, a mare as well-traveled as Spirit would know what a mistress is? Frustrated, he decided to spell it out for her, "Look at it this way, if Midnight was forced to choose between her stallions and you, whom do you think she would pick? She may like you as a friend and will probably share you with Arid and Defiant, but she will never belong to you though you may belong to her." He pushes himself away from the counter and picks up a polishing glass in his magic, "I don't expect you to dump her, that is your own choice to make. However, one has to wonder just how much you actually mean to her..."

Spirit halted her spinning, though she still swayed slightly and looked rather woozy, "W-What? O-Oh, no. We're not like that! I wouldn't mind it, but... N-no! She told me that she didn't like me that way."
Spirit's world was absolutely spinning. She couldn't focus. She couldn't think. Blinking a few times, she had to place her hooves on the counter, lest she fall over. At the sight, the two ponies from across the bar made their move.
Approaching her in a rather quick sense, they flanked her on either side. The green one, a Pegasus, placed his wing around her, while The red one, a unicorn began to speak a near imperceptible aura of magic coming from his horn, 'are you okay?' He asked, his voice sounding smooth and perfect, 'do you need someone to take you home.?'
Groggily, Spirit blinked and stated in a really slurred tone, "Low Key..." She said, pointing to the bar tender.
The unicorn simply smiled and shook his head, before addressing Low, 'Now, sir. Why not save yourself the trouble? We can handle this.'

Low looked to the two stallions and suddenly it all clicked. The shit-eating grins, the confidence, coincidentally knowing just when to step in...Spirit wasn't just drunk, she was drugged. Low flashed a glance at the bouncers, whom were already looking his way. Instead of calling them over, he simply turned back to look at the two stallions.
As much as he distrusted Midnight, he had to admit that she knew a few tricks, tricks which he planned to put to use right now. Mentally reciting the first spell she taught him, the magic coursed through his horn but no light was produced. He then used his telekinesis to pick up the two glasses he had been polishing and levitated them gently and slowly from under and behind the counter, around the side until they were behind the stallions' heads without them noticing. Placing his forelegs on the counter, he rested on his elbows and clopped his hooves together in a pose one would expect from an employer about to fire somepony, "I respect your enthusiastic samaritanism, gentlestallions, but cut the shit. All four of us now what you two want to do with her, and I'm afraid I can't allow you two to take her home. So, if you don't mind...kindly get the fuck out of my bar."

Spirit's mind was yelling at her. 'No!' It shouted. It screamed. It told her exactly what to do. Reach in your bag. Grab a card and let loose on these two. Yet, the absolute most she could muster was a small, inconsequential push on the pegasus' chest. He hardly swayed at all.
The unicorn never stopped talking, and his smile seemed to grow, "Why, sir! I cannot believe that you're insinuating that we'd do that to such a small and innocent little mare! Why, we're just trying to make sure that she gets home safe and sound! Isn't that right?" he asked, turning to Spirit, and holding her up off the counter, again.
Then, he lowered his head and his voice fell into nearly a whisper, "But, you're right. Let's cut the shit. You lend us the back room, and we'll let you have her first. Sound fair?"

Low didn't even blink, "I'm only going to give you one final warning: Let her go and leave." His eyes kept contact and his glare was burning. The two glasses were still levitating behind their heads, but Low was prepared to use them should they persist.
